Larger muscles will produce more force, since they are stronger
muscles (strength is the ability to exert force). The point of
resistance training is to exert force. Increase your muscles size,
and it will produce more force. However, that is not the only way to
increase your muscles ability to exert force. You can improve your
neuromuscular system. Which is why some people believe that strength
and size are not related. Often you'll come across someone who claims
that they train to build larger muscles, that they are not concerned
with strength because they are not interested in powerlifting.
However, they are not understanding "weight training". How can a
person who believes that there is no relationship between size and
strength, proceed with their training?

Do you workout too long or too often?
Are you working too hard in the gym?
Yes, you do have to work hard to build muscle and strength, but if
you are overtraining then you effort will be wasted and your reward
will be stagnation.
"But how can I tell if I overtraining", you might ask, "is there
an overtraining test?".
Overtraining Test: Are You Overtraining?
Wednesday, November 09, 2011
There are two things that will keep your muscles from growing bigger
and stronger, they are:
1) Overtraining
2) Undertraining
The key is finding a workout plan that stimulates each muscle group
often enough so they don't atrophy before your next workout, but you
also need to make sure you don't work them so often that they can't
recover.

There's an ongoing debate among exercise physiologists regarding the
superiority of one exercise over another. Of course, there are so
many variables that it's impossible to say with any certainty if
the pulldown beats out the horizontal row. More often than not, it's
the effort one puts into an exercise which will determine its
efficacy. Almost any exercise for a particular bodypart will yield
results if performed with enough intensity. However, when examining
the anabolic effects of an exercise - that's a different story.

What's the best exercise for six pack abs?
We've all heard that the best exercises for abs is sit ups and leg
raises.
But the problem with these exercises is that sit ups and leg raises
really use the psoas muscle of the upper thigh, and only work the
abs secondarily.

up, and that's tough.
Believe it or not, there is good reason to squat deep.

Why Do You Want To Work Your Back?
Because people do not visibly see their back like they do their chest
and stomach they tend to neglect this group of muscles. The back
muscles are involved in just about every activity you do each day,
from simply getting out of bed to heavy lifting or pulling. It's
important that the back muscles are strong enough to handle all that
work. Strength training your back muscles has an extra perk as it
will also add muscle mass to your upper body, this will make your
waist look smaller. Kind of like a two for one advantage exercise.

The importance of lower back and abdominal training.
I used to read articles on abdominal training that stated that an
individual who deadlifted over 500 pounds had no need for abdominal
work. I thought these individuals were crazy. However, after years of
working abdominals, I drifted away from direct abdominal training
figuring that I'd get that "indirect stimulation." What I have
discovered is that I might not have been so far off the mark after
all. Most lifters will tell you that accessory work in the form of
direct abdominal and lower back training is beneficial. This sort of
work carries over to your squats and deadlifts and when these lifts
go up so does your muscle.

In very basic terms, you consume energy in food and drink, which your
body uses for fuel. Your total daily energy expenditure is your total
fuel usage. If you consume more energy than you expend, you'll put on
fat, and if you expend more energy than you consume, you'll burn
fat.

Potato Panic
by Dwayne Hines
Have you noticed the attack on potatoes in the press? Potatoes even
made the front page of the Wall Street Journal recently. The story is
the move by the Department of Agriculture to eliminate the potato
from school breakfasts – at least federally subsidized breakfasts.
And they are also going to be largely removed from lunch menus as
well.
All of this concern about getting the potato off the menus begs the
question – what is wrong with the potato? Is it some nefarious food
element that will drastically harm children? Should you also avoid
the potato like the plague?

Exercising at home has many advantages over joining a gym ? it
means we save money by investing in equipment rather than wasting
money on a membership every month or every time we go (not to mention
the joining fee, induction fee, cancelation fee?); it means we can
exercise in privacy without feeling embarrassed with others watching
or having to queue for equipment; and it means we can do it far more
quickly and easily with no need to travel and waste gas and time
or get wet if it's raining. In other words then, putting some time
and money in now to developing a home training set up will greatly
benefit you in the long run. But what exactly do you need to

that starts at the shoulders crosses the abs and ends on the calves,
this will give you the idea of the areas that make your physique

Sleep and Bodybuilding, How Much Sleep?
Sleep – Missing link to growth
by Dwayne Hines
Have you tried everything but still can’t get the growth you want?
The answer you are seeking may be quite simple – so simple that you
may overlook it. What might the key to advancement be? - Sleep.
Sleep may be the very thing that you are overlooking, neglecting or
not putting enough emphasis on.
Hans Selye, a noted researcher on the human body, stated that in
order to make progress, challenge must be balanced with recovery.
In other words, you need to offset those hard-charging workouts with
an adequate amount of sleep.
African lions have the sleep element nailed down. They sleep around
20 hours a day, letting their big muscles grow and grow. Growth, by
the way, occurs during sleep, not during the action.
The same is true for the bodybuilder – growth occurs during sleep.
That means if you are not getting much sleep, you are not getting
much growth. It’s that simple. However, lots of guys burn the candle
at both ends – hard core workouts during the day, then lots of
partying at night. Or simply staying up a little later to watch the
late show or movie. That may be fun but it short-changes your growth
potential.
Lack of sleep cuts in a couple of ways. First, it limits growth.
Second, it cuts into the energy stores for the next workout. Not
getting adequate sleep is very harmful to the growth potential of
the physique. Sure, you can pull it off a few times, but over time
it adds up and keeps you from maximizing growth.
Of course the answer here is simple – sleep more. Add an extra
half-hour or so whenever you can. Make an effort to carve out some
time for just sleep. Naps help, but a longer extended sleeping
period is really the best tool to support hard core training.
Dwayne Hines is the author of The Growth Zone – a new approach to
building mass muscle fast.
And Conditioning for Fighting – a mixed training approach for those
who want to improve their fight conditioning.

a question. You suggested I eat a mostly raw food plan. How did you
figure out what I was supposed to eat? What you did worked, but the
normal fitness nutrition plan is something like protein 30, carb 40
and fat 30 or a high protein diet. When doing raw foods it does not
work out that way. I want to get into personal training one day and
you're the only one I know that seems to understand how to get what
someone wants to look like by the way they should eat. Can you share
anything with me?

What are Forced Reps?
Just when you are about to give up, there is a break in the resistance
as your partner lends a hand. You reach into your soul to muster one
more morsel of energy, and the bar starts to move upward slowly.
Grimacing, your arms finally reach full extension, and you let out a
deep gasp. Then, before you can feel a moment of relief and
accomplishment your partner calls out, "Come on! One more! Let's go!"
The former is a description of a high-intensity technique known to the
training world as Forced Reps Weight Training

Are you avoiding sweets like they were the plague? That’s smart as
eating too much sugar and other related sweeteners can cause
problems for your body. Excess sugar is stored as fat on the body,
and taking lots of sugar at once can cause a real spike in your
metabolism. In addition to these factors, there are the sweeteners
that are even worse – high fructose corn syrup, for instance, which
is really bad for the body. You want to always avoid this
artificial sweetener.
In spite of the negative connotation that sweeteners have, there are
a couple that actually have some benefits.

What are cheat reps?
Cheat reps are additional repetitions at the end of a set of exercises
in which the engaged muscles become too fatigued complete a motion,
meaning that the exercise must either be completed with assistance or
the weightlifter must sacrifice proper form to complete the motion.
Cheat reps are a controversial practice, while many bodybuilders
bemoan cheat reps as ineffective or potentially dangerous, many
others see value in the practice.
Are cheat reps good?

Hyper Help
by Dwayne Hines
Do you want to improve your squatting capabilities? You should. Olympic
coach Harvey Newton notes that "the basic squat is the foundation for
not only weightlifting but also nearly every functional athletic
movement in sport today." Boyd Epley, founder of the National Strength
and Conditioning Association (N.S.C.A.) states in his book The Path to
Athletic Power that "the squat is the best exercise to develop lean
body mass." And at the core, that’s what its about, isn’t it? Building
lean body mass is the end goal, and the squat is the premium tool with
which to do it. Essentially, the best way to build big muscles is to
squat.

High fructose corn syrup has become a common staple in the modern
diet. It has become the standard filler for food manufacturers
because it makes foods taste sweeter and preserves them for a
longer shelf life. This cheap ingredient is hidden in the long list
of ingredients of many popular food brands; and consumers have been
taking large amounts of corn syrup completely unaware of health
ramifications.

Christmas holiday while enjoying the College Bowl schedule? Great!
Forgive yourself and chalk it up as a break from the normal
fitness schedule. The mind and the body--to a point--need a
break now and then. I've eaten what I want for the past two weeks
and took a two week break from the gym and my supplements. Now,
I'm ready to flatten the stomach and get those cuts back as quickly
as I can. Any of this sound like you?

The usual advice is to do full reps, from full extension to full
contraction. For example doing a barbell curl starting with your
arms straight down and curling until the bar is under your neck
and the biceps are full contracted.
But if you are interested in trying a different method of building
muscle, you may consider trying Weight Lifting Half Reps.

The Paleolithic diet, or more commonly known as the caveman diet, is
based on the foods which people in ancient days had consumed. This
category of diet is thought to be nutritious as it includes many of
the essential components that a body requires to function as well as
what the body possesses the capability to break down and use. There
are numerous forms of this diet out in publication today. Each diet
will include its own special twist to the types of food allowed but
they all keep to the root of the diet which is to eat from nature.

Many bodybuilders, fitness models and even celebrities endorse
protein shakes in advertisements. And it has become accepted that
these shake are needed, so they have become one of the top used
dietary supplements.
But are Protein Shakes Good or Bad?

Peak Contraction Training
Muscles increase in size when the person working out puts more stress
on them and the body adapts to better handle similar stress in the
future. When muscles work, all of the fibers contract and send a
strong signal to the central nervous system. For this reason, peak
contraction training is a great way to increase muscle mass in a very
short amount of time.
Peak contraction is...

The Science of Fat Loss
by Paul Becker
The human body was designed to survive.
The way it survives during times of famine is to:
1) Lower metabolic rate, to use as few calories as possible.
2) Burn off lean tissue (muscle) as fuel.
3) Store as much fat, as possible, in order to have a reserve of
calories on hand.
Most people skip meals or eat too few calories during the day, by
doing this you are putting your body into starvation mode, which
the body treats as a famine and lowers metabolism.
And most people also come home at night and eat a big meal followed
by a few snacks, by loading up on calories at night you are signaling
your body to store up fat.
The right thing to do is...

good workout may seem easy. Lets face it, during the initial stages,
almost any training will overload your muscles.
As your workouts progress, so should the intensity. At a certain
point in their regime, most trainers hit a distinct plateau. While
they may have been increasing weights and reps, there comes a point
when your body adapts to those workouts and merely maintains current
size and strength. At this point dramatic changes must take place in
order to continue at aa decent rate of progress. One of these
changes in strategy is Slow Continuous Tension Training.

One Exercise Per Body Part
Really? Only one exercise per body part?
This is an almost forgotten old school bodybuilding techinque, used by
such greats as Reg Park, Steve Reeves, Vince Gironda, etc., to build
maximum muscle mass.
The Benefits of Doing One Exercise Per Body Part
Vince Gironda said, "Do one exercise per body part, if you want to
get big fast."
This training routine has many benefits. First it is simple, you just
pick your favorite exercise and you put your all into it. Another
benefit is that you will get a much better pump than with any other
workout routine.

Recent research indicates that adding foods high in fiber can actually
eliminates calories from your body. A study in the April Journal of
Nutrition indicates that increasing your fiber intake from 13 grams
(the average American intake) to 26 grams will enable your body to
absorb about 90 fewer calories. This is enough to make you 10 pounds
lighter within just a year.

Sweating is your bodies cooling mechanism. When you exercise intensely,
you can lose two quarts of water in one hour. One way to determine
how much water you need to drink during and after exercise is to weigh
yourself after exercise. For every pound lost during exercise, you
need to replace with two cups of water.

Just thought you might want to consider an easier way I found to build
abs. I am 55 years old, and have better abs than most in their 20's.
I am an ex-marine, and when in the service over 30 years ago, I was
surprised at how many large-bellied older marines could do lots of
sit-ups, but - well it was obvious those sit-ups weren't doing them
much good. We were often required to aim to complete 80 bent-knee
sit-ups in two minutes. I always met that requirement, but my abs
never were noticeable at all either. Fast forward to 2010.

Quick Morning Workouts
by Tom Mack
Having to deal with all the activities of the day and still find time
to fit in a killer workout is a constant challenge. Keep in mind that
it does take discipline to work out early in the morning, but if you
stick with you get used to it.
Monday:
Chest,
bench press - 3 sets, 8-12 reps (bar to upper chest near the neck
line is for bodybuilding, bar lower in the chest is for power lifting)
incline press - 3 sets, 8-12 reps
dips - 3 sets, 10 reps (wide grip)
Shoulders,
military press - 3 sets, 8-12 reps
front dumbbell raise - 2 sets, 8-12 reps
lateral dumbbell raise - 2 sets, 8-12 reps
upright rows - 1 set, to failure
Triceps,
french press - 3 sets, 8-12 reps
tricep pushdown - 3 sets, 8-12 reps
dips - 1 set to failure ( close grip, emphasize the triceps)
In between sets work your abs
Tuesday:
Legs,
front squats - 2 sets, 8-12 reps
squats - 3 sets, 8-12 reps
deadlift - 3 sets, 8-12 reps (ankles line up with smooth part
of the bar)
leg extension - 3 sets, 8-12 reps
leg curls - 3 sets, 8-12 reps (super set with leg extension)
calves - 3 sets, 8-12 reps
in between sets work your abs
Wednesday:
Back,
pull ups - 5 sets, 10 reps
barbell rows - 3 sets, 8-12 reps
pull downs 1 set, to failure
Biceps,
seated dumbbell curls - 3 sets, 8-12 reps

working abs in between sets
Thursday:
OFF
Friday:
Power routine:
power cleans - 6sets, 4-6 reps
jump shrug - 3 sets, 10 reps
box jump - 2-3 sets, 10-20 reps
work abs in between sets
This routine can be completed in an hour. I increase the weight after I
can perform 10-12 reps. On days where I feel strong, I won't count the
reps but go to failure.
Good Luck

Hypertrophy Specific Training Review, Bryan Haycock HST
by Jim Ryan
Hypertrophy Specific Training, or HST as we will be referring to it,
was developed by Bryan Haycock and is intended to induce the fastest
muscle growth in the shortest period of time without losing muscle
efficiency and without the use of anabolic steroids.
As we are aware there is a tremendous amount of science involved in
bodybuilding, and this is certainly the case with HST. The concept
was developed following some significant research into muscle
hypertrophy and then converted into a strength training program, and
follows some basic principles.

Shoulder Dumbbell Workout
by Mike DeAngelo
I learned this delt training tip from the great Mike
Francois and who could argue with his delt
development? It involves monopolizing 4 pairs of
dumbells so you might want to try this at a time your
gym is relatively uncrowded. As delts are my favorite
bodypart to train I took to this routine like a
bulldog to a meat truck:
Lay 4 pairs of dumbells {each bell on either side of
you} as you are sitting on a seated, backed* bench.
Use 10-pound increments from lightest to heaviest. I
personally use {after a 2 set warm-up with 20's for 20
reps} 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's.
Press overhead while seated: 50's for 8 reps.
60's for 8 reps.
70's for 8 reps.
80's for 8 reps.
That's one set. Rest 3 minutes. Then press overhead:
80's for 6 reps.
70's for 6 reps.
60's for 6 reps.
50's for 6 reps.
The second set. Rest another 3 minutes. There is no
rest between poundages. The only rest is just long
enough for you to drop the previous dumbells and grab
the next poundage. After this 3 minute's rest:
50's for 4 reps.
60's for 4 reps.
70's for 4 reps.
80's for 4 reps.
The low rep range from 6 to 8 means nothing since you
are doing basically "giant sets". That's it. After a
heavy-breathing break you can do your lateral raises,
bent-over laterals, upright rows, whatever, etc...This
is sure to pack on size. My delts grew like a
feces-fertilized flower in 5 weeks doing only this
routine, no laterals, uprights, bent-overs, etc.
*Another little secret I learned from Mike is if you
have no back problems do your seated overhead press on
a bench with NO BACK. This forces your side delts to
work on the press whereas with a backed bench your
front delt heads would be predominant, as in the
military barbell press. But go easy on the poundage if
you try this. Adios, amigos...

Have A Great Leg Workout
To get the best results from your leg workout, train legs on their
own day of the week. When training your legs, you're basically
working half your body in one session.
Training your leg muscles doesn't only work your lower half; it
actually works your entire body, increases your heartbeat and gets
your blood flowing to help burn fat and work your cardiovascular
system. If you're working out hard enough, you won't have any
energy left to train any other body parts anyway.
The squat is the mother of all leg exercises. If you were to do
only one leg exercise, it should be the squat, since it works
your entire body. The regular squat is a great exercise in order
to build your legs and your overall fitness level.
Thigh Exercises
Squats or Leg Press - 4 sets x 12,10,8,6 reps
Leg Extension - 3 sets x 10,8,6 reps
Hamstring Exercises
Lying Leg Curls - 3 sets x 12,10,8 reps
Stiff Leg Deadlifts - 3 sets x 12,10,8 reps
Calf Exercises
Standing Calf Raise - 3 sets x 12,12,12 reps
Seated Calf Raise - 3 sets x 12,12,12 reps

Do you support your anaerobic training with water? Or do you view water
as something more akin to running and aerobic training refreshment? If
so, you are making a mistake that is holding your training back. Water
is the key element to insure training success – even for resistance
training styles such as weight lifting. In fact failure to adequately
support your training with water can lead to an injury.

12 Week Fitness Program Review
Interview With Fitness Guru Charles Prosper Creator of The 12-Week Fit Fast System
P.B. Can you give us some background about yourself?
C.P. Basically, I am your everyday guy, well-educated, working man, who at age 57 discovered something. I wasn't the guy that I was physically only 10 years ago. At 5'9' tall, I was weighing about 195 lbs. That's about 35 lbs. over my ideal weight. When I walked, my thighs were so chubby that they actually rubbed together. I was sometimes afraid to run too fast less I might cause a friction fire between my pants legs.
P.B. What got you started in fitness?
C.P. What got me started into fitness is what I like to call the "day of the van". This is what happened. My daughter, Luzemily who was about 7 years old at the time, said to me. "Daddy, I'll race you to the van." Optimistically, I said, okay, but not knowing that my mind and my body had too different agendas. She said, "Go!" And we took out racing to the parked van only about 20 feet in front of us. Before I got half way, I was huffing and puffing like the big bad wolf, totally out of breath. I said to myself, "Oh, no. Something's wrong with this picture. There is no way that I will let myself deteriorate for the sake of my daughter. For her, I must take care of myself to be around for her as long as possible and as healthy as possible. Thus, I immersed myself in a project to learn the best of anything and everything to do with health, physical fitness and longevity. I came across a book by famed bodybuilder Lee Labrada, "The Lean Body Promise" which totally opened my eyes and changed my life.

dumbells, as you get to the mid position rotate the dumbells so
that your palms are facing upward. Raise the dumbells fully and
hold for a second then lower to the starting position and repeat
10 times for 3 sets.

We resently had the great honor of getting to interview Phil Collen, the brilliant guitarist from the muliti-platinum Rock Band Def Leppard.
Phil has been sober for 23 years, a vegetarian for 27 and a vegan currently. Additionally, he has become quite a fitness buff over the last 15 or so years. He started out with a black belt in Kempo Karate which kicked off his love of Martial Arts...and now trains with Jean Carrillo, the Muay Thai kickboxing champion. Phil brings Jean on the road with him and is able to maintain his regimen during the Def Leppard tours.
Currently, his workouts consist of extreme cardio, boxing, Muay Thai kickboxing, weightlifting and biking. Before a tour he works out 3 times a day 7 days a week. Right now, he's just maintaining - so it's once a day.
No steroids or Chemical enhancements are involved - he eats a super clean vegan diet. Phil truly feels he has hit upon the fountain of youth and is in the best shape of his life and its just getting better every day. Thats even more incredible when you throw in the fact that the guy is 52 and has lived a temptation-filled Rockin' life on the road for the past 30+ yrs.

Get a Super Duper Workout with These Supersets
Some days, that coffee just doesn’t kick in.
Instead of getting that stirring vigor you’re usually jolted with
every afternoon, you instead find yourself bogged down with a
nagging case of the blahs.
You’re on your way to the gym and only three words enter your
mind: Same old thing. You’re travelling the same roads to go to
the same gym at the same old time to do the same old workout.
The rain pelting off your windshield isn’t helping any matters.
Quite simply, you feel like a dead fish.
Well, the best remedy for such a dreadful feeling may be at the
end of your destination. Once you get inside the gym, and conduct
your pre-workout warm-up, jump right in with some riveting super
sets that are sure to get the blood pumping and the veins
jumping. For example:
Chest: Try this one. Set two flat benches up just a few feet
apart from one another. Do a set of 12-15 dumbbell flyes on one
of the benches. When done, immediately place your feet up on one
bench, your hands on the other, and crank out a set of 30-40
push-ups, using your own body for resistance. Try this
superset three times for a super pump.
Biceps: Find a cable machine with lower hookups that are parallel
to one another. Attach D-handles to them. Then, grab a curl bar
and rip out a set of 12-15 reps at a moderate poundage, making
surethat you do slow, strict reps with forced negatives. When
you’re finished with this set, immediately jump over to the cable
apparatus and whip out a set of alternating cable curls. Do 16
reps on each arm and after this superset, you’ll feel your
dormant arms spring out of their coffins.
Triceps: Lie down on a flat bench with a curl bar and grind
through a set of 12-14 triceps extensions. After the final
negative of your final rep, jump over to the cable machine where
you should have already connected a bar to the top hookup. With
your palms facing up, crank out a set of reverse extensions,
14-16 reps for an intense jolt.
